To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY Sossmn,a citithe county of- Phi'la'de'lphia and State of Pennsylvania, haxieinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators, oi which the-followingfis aispecification.

One object of my invention is to provide a radiator construction which will particularly well adapted foruse'in cooling the water used in automobiles for keeping the engine cool.

. Another objectis to'so construct my in.- vcntion that it can be quickly and. easily made and assembled and will be operative to quickly cool the water and thereby prevent the engine or motor from becoming overheated.

Another object is to make my invention in such manner that all of the connected parts will be enposed in such manner that they can be freely and easily/soldered at the joints and thereby prevent the radiator fromleaking.'

These objects, and other advantageous ends which will be described hereinafter, I attain in the, following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of an automobile radiator made in accordance with my invention,

Fig.2 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation showing certain of the units of my improved rmliator construction connected together, 7 1 v F'g. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, I

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section 'talrenon the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, v i

,Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of a portion of iny improved radiator, a part of the same being broken away to re veal the internal structure thereof, and

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a portion of one of thefunits of my improved radiator construction showing the same before it is soldered.

' Referring to the drawings, my improved radiator includes a number of units 7 which are made of continuous strips of sheet metal which'arezbentto provide a honey comb structure including a number of hexagonal channels or ducts. 'By being bent in the mannershown in FigslQ, 4t, 5 and 6, each of the units? includesftwo rows of ducts 8 Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 4, +App1iea-tion filed February 27, 19 19. Serial No. 279,633.

arranged in zi'g-zag or stepped ,t'ormation and the sections or bent portlons 9 form partitions between the ducts of each row.

The portionsdl of each row are soldered to gether'and the portions 11 at their frontand rear endsare expanded or bent as shown at 12 so as to extend beyond the intermediate parts 13 which constitute the outer side stir-- faces of the portions 11. Thus when two of theunits 7 are placed side by side as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the expanded portions12- will contact with each other and thereby provide a space 14: through which Water can pass from the top to the bottom of. the units 7 lnother words, the spaces 14 provide r water passages through which water can pass from the top 15 of the radiator to the bottom 16. The adjacent expanded parts 12 aresoldered together both at the front and the rear to. prevent leakage of'the water passing through the passages 151 and also to --connect' the units together.

on each of the pockets so that air passing through the ducts 8 will pass into the opens. lugs 21 formed by the cuts 18 andas they engage the tapered or an ular surfaces '22 will from the ducts 0 one row "into the ducts of the ad acent row of each unit so that said air will be directed transversely to the length of said latter ducts and caused to engage. the surfaces of the portions 11 and thereby expedite the cooling of the water passing through said passages. l4.

As clearly shown in Figs. 2,4 and 5, I so make the pockets 17 as to be positioned in a staggered formation within the height of T in said height of theradiator are pressed in the radiator so that alternate pockets withopposite directions, so that a portion of the air passing into the front ends of the ducts of each row will be caused to enter the ducts of the immediately adjacent row in themanner above described.

While I have described my invention as taking a particular form, it will be understood that the various parts of my invention may be changed without departing from the spirit thereof, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction set ters' Patent is 2-- forth, but consider'that- I am at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly 1. A radiator of the character described including a plurality of units, each of said units consisting of a continuous strip of Inaterial having portions bent to provideadjacent rows of ductsythe outer side portions of each of said units at their front and rear ends being offset, whereby when two units are placed together and said units are connected at said projecting parts a passageway will be provided between said units,

, the engaging portions between said adjacent rows in each unit being in engagement throughout th enti-re depth of the unit;

substantially as described.

2. Aradiator of the'character described 4 including a plurality of units, each of said units cons sting of a continuous strip of material hav ng portions bent to provide adjacent rows of ducts, the outer side portions of said units at their front and rear ends v projecting beyond the parts between said ends, whereby when two units are placed together and said units are connected atv unit having air deflecting pockets cut and bent to deflect air passing through the ducts of one row into the ducts of the other row, the openings of the pockets being produced by cutting entirely throughthe portion be-- tween the ducts in directions transversely to "the length of said ducts and then laterally bulging the portionsimmediately to the rear of the cutting; substantially as de-' scribed. v

In testimony" whereof I have signed my name tothis specification in the presence ,pf two subscribing witnesses. I
